Sunset Sailing Cocktail Cruise from Soper's Hole

Cast off from Soper's Hole aboard a crewed sailing yacht for a golden-hour cruise through the Sir Francis Drake Channel — BVI rum cocktails in hand, as the sun melts behind the silhouetted islands. Pure Caribbean magic.

What to expect

As the afternoon heat softens, you step aboard a sleek catamaran at Soper's Hole Marina and ease into the channel that once carried pirates, traders, and explorers. The crew mixes authentic BVI Painkillers using fresh coconut cream and Pusser's Rum as the light turns amber and rose over the outline of St. John and Jost Van Dyke on the horizon. Light appetisers — conch fritters, fresh fruit, local cheeses — are served on deck as the sails fill with the evening trade winds. The return is a short, gentle motor back to the dock as the first stars appear.
